The brain an amazing organ. Although I don't remember most of these clips, some of them felt so familiar that I felt like I saw them only last year, and I definitely haven't seen them since they came out 48 years ago. I mean, how much data is in this brain of mine? Gigabytes? Terabytes? Petabytes? Not only did I recognize many of the clips, but occasionally I knew what I was going to see one second before I saw it.
